Our “Plan B” Life (2017-present)

LIFE: Look, I’m sorry about this. I know you have stuff you want to do. But I’m going to take it all away.

HEATHER: What are you taking away? Our farm? No problemo. We’re adaptable.

HEATHER: No. That’s not okay. We have plans. We’re so good together. We just had a kid.

Heads up: flurry of posts

Hello! Thank you for subscribing to new posts on my website. I have some old stories to add, and so you’re about to get 5 email alerts when these are published. I apologize for the sudden email flurry: I can’t stop the email alerts from going out.

To read the stories, you can click the links in the email alerts, or find them on my website here.

I spent a happy hour yesterday looking through old photos to add to the stories: it’s been fun remembering our years on the farm. I sure miss my farmer man.
